My Very First Post ...
from the Vette using the carputer
I'm sitting out in front of my garage in the Vette cruising the CF on the carputer and decided it was time to try and make a post
Hope it works

You are able to do that, but hundreds still can't see pics, avatars, nor vendor ads since the upgrade....

My current carputer is pulled around in a trailer and yet has only five kilobytes of RAM (that's 5K, not 5M). Punched paper tape is the main form of data input, and the operator console is an electric typewriter. No screens, no cursor. The CPU runs at about 0.1 Mhz.

I can't believe it! You were outside in your car instead of inside watching 'American Idol'? What the hell is wrong with you? Get your priorities straight man! After all, their music is going to end up on your hard drive sooner or later...
